The use of X-ray spectrometry in forensic expertise. Dental alloy control

Abstract

The analysis of dental materials in forensic investigations is very important. Identifying the victims of accidents or attacks sometimes requires the analysis of their dentures. In this paper, X-ray spectrometry was used as a method to determine the chemical composition of a dental material. In this case, it was established that it was a dental alloy (Cr-Ni-Mo) with a percentage composition of 23.58% Cr, 64.32% Ni and 10.82% Mo.
